That was then followed by the departure of guitarist Phil Sgrosso , who had been part of the San Diego metalcore group since 2003, leaving Lambesis as the sole remaining member.
At the time, Sgrosso said the departures were due to the band no longer offering “a healthy or safe environment for anyone involved—whether creatively, personally, or professionally. After witnessing some concerning patterns of behaviour, I’ve realised that I can no longer, in good conscience, enable further actions that could negatively affect anyone working within this space.” Tim Lambesis of the American band As I Lay Dying performs live on stage during a concert at the Columbiahalle on October 3, 2019 in Berlin, Germany.
